theres no rust in the bay well i havent found any on the shell,
will be replacing the lower crossmember with a panel or box steel.
The bodge on the cross member has been done propperly there is a 4mm steel plate welded in there

The shell overall isnt that bad but all i can say is who ever welded the bay up didnt have a clue, Made removing the gearbox mount tricky

Right the next of my problems is the fact that the rear engine mount wont bolt on,
I know the holes which need tapping but have never done it so anyone got any tips?

Well done Joe, nice skills.
